The perfect wave - measured by imc

Stability tests of ships, harbors & oil platforms in waves

Stability tests of ships, harbors & oil platforms in waves

The enormous force of water in a crashing, house-high wave – what extreme surfers may admire as a spectacle of nature – can be a serious menace to ships, harbors and oil platforms which have not been designed and protected adequately. The Canadian research institute, NRC (National Research Council of Canada), conducts comprehensive proving and certification tests on behalf of shipbuilders, port con-struction companies and manufacturers of oil platforms. For this purpose, measurement technology from imc is being applied.
